I think I've heard that name somewhere before. Do they have any OP/ED songs?

Sure. They do the soundtrack of Kuroshitsuji (Lacrimosa) and Puella Madoka Magica (Magia). I don't remember if the other songs are used as soundtracks of other series, but I know there are more. Bad memory. XD

Re: J-Music Hangout

I love the guys that sing the Detective Conan opening, whoever they may be! The English version is also good. Detective Conan's detective theme song is one of my earliest childhood memories. Pay attention to the awesome solo at the end!

Re: The J-Music Show!

On December 5th, popular idol group AKB48 announced through their official blog that they will be holding their own “Kohaku singing battle”!

AKB48 has been confirmed to perform at the annual New Year’s Eve music show, “The 62nd Kohaku Uta Gassen“, and they have also been promoting the show as a “supporter”. To prepare themselves for the big event, the group has decided to hold their own “Kohaku singing battle” themselves. Just like the original program, the members will divide into teams of “red” and “white”, and compete against each other.

AKB48’s “Kohaku singing battle” will be held on December 20th at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL. Tickets and other information will be revealed through their official blog at a later date.

Re: J-Music Hangout / The J- Music Show

Okay, so I'm addicted to 99RadioService at the moment thanks to their contribution to Chihayafuru's two OP themes. So now planning to check their releases more. At first I thought the vocalist is a female, but turns out it's a male when I checked YOUTHFUL's PV a while ago, LOL~

Anyone has listened to their other tracks too? Or have you just discovered them like me?

Re: J-Music Hangout / The J- Music Show

Lately I've been listening to Maximum the Hormone. They're famous for the Death Note OP, What's Up People, but I've also enjoyed listening to Koi no Mega Lover. I like how the latter song contrast a happy, jubilant mood with their usual metal style.
